    Mesoscale Discussion 1275
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0520 PM CDT Sat Aug 11 2018

    Areas affected...Northwest Arizona...Southwest Utah...and Southeast
    Nevada

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 112220Z - 120045Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms continue to develop over the higher terrain
    in southwest Utah and northwest Arizona. Hail and strong wind gusts
    are possible.

    DISCUSSION...Thermal-terrain circulations have helped breach
    convective temperatures and thunderstorms are developing over the
    higher terrain in a modestly buoyant environment (MLCAPE 500-1500
    J/kg). 30-40 F surface dewpoint depressions demonstrate a dry
    sub-cloud layer and LCLs are generally around 5000-9000 feet AGL.
    With these conditions and DCAPE of 1200+ J/kg, strong wind gusts and
    severe wind are possible in this environment. Hail is also possible
    given the modest buoyancy and drier air in the column with higher
    elevations favored since the freezing level is closer to the
    surface. Overall, weak flow aloft/shear will limit upscale
    organization and the overall severe threat as these storms slowly
    move/develop to the southwest. Sustained, rotating updrafts are
    unlikely, but collapsing storms and upslope flow should continue
    initiating storms through the evening. A watch issuance is unlikely.
